Was thinking of replacing the centre box on my vr, it already has a full stainless 2 box system along with decat and 6-2-1 manifold but its dead quite unless you boot it, was wanting it a little louder but worried about a lack of back pressure affecting performance so still undecided. :undecided:

wont loose no back pressure what so ever, the box is their to make it quieter at thats all daz...trust me do it, mine drives like a complete different car, feels alot faster and alot more rev happy if that makes sense, before with the box it felt like their was a restriction... as i just said mine flys now and its just the 8v at the moment, and the sound it gives off is awesome on a VR it would be imense, do it!, you cant beat the sound of a good stainless system

The middle box is the main baffler (sound deadener). Putting on a sports cat will make a bigger difference to performance and sound
